I am Doris in N CA. Over time, this has become the "serious" blog.
Since the suicide of my son, I have become involved in suicide awareness and, yes, that creeps into the blog on a fairly regular basis.

Flea market in August
This is my necessary flea market equipment: the cart, a hat (in case the sun comes out), backpack with water bottle and camera and other absolute necessities.
I obviously was quite fascinated by this elderly couple, or rather, by their clothes. Wish I could get away with something this interesting and colorful. Seriously!
The flea market is held monthly on the old Alameda Naval Air Base and it's huge, really. These are some of the buildings we pass on the way back out that are being put to good use these days. Many, many more stand empty and this is just a small sampling of the ones that aren't. The winery, BTW, was featured in the news recently. One that's not located right where the grapes are grown.

Is the flower near the top made of hand-made paper? I haven't seen that kind of luggage for a long time!

Marilee, if I remember correctly it isn't paper, but something that came out of the sea.
Oh! A coral fan!

Yes, Marilee, I think that's what it is.
Katie, I think you'll have to arm wrestle my husband for it :-)
